1.Cobra pose (Bhujang asana)

The pose is a great way to lose weight, as well as strengthen your spine, buttocks and stretch your shoulders.

In order to do this pose:

Start performing the asana from the lying position with your face down;

rise up a bit and prop both your forearms against the floor surface;

keep your elbows close to the chest;

inhale deeply and slowly straighten your arms, lifting your upper body as high as you can;

hold this position for 30 seconds, then exhale and return to the starting position;

The exercise should be repeated 5 times, with short 15-second breaks between the repetitions.Important: Do not attempt the cobra pose during pregnancy or if you are suffering from back injuries.

2.Bow pose (Dhanurasana)

This exercise strengthens the central part of the abdomen. To achieve the desired effect, slowly swing back and forth. These movements improve digestion and make the entire body more flexible.

In order to do this pose:

Starting position — lie on your stomach with your knees bent;

raise your lower legs, and move your hands behind your back to grab the ankles from the outside;

inhale deeply and then exhale while bowing your body as much as possible, raising the pelvis and chest from the floor;

pull your head back as far as possible;

hold the position for 15-30 seconds and watch your breathing carefully: while exhaling, return to the starting position;

The asana should be performed 5 times with 15-second intervals in-between.

3.Pontoon pose (Naukasana)

This asana is ideal for getting rid of the fat accumulated around the waist area. And, it will also have a positive effect on your appetite and strengthen your leg muscles.

In order to do this pose:

Starting position — lie on your back facing upward, extend your legs while keeping them together, and place your arms alongside the body palms facing downward;

inhale and slowly raise your legs while making sure to keep them straight;

pull your toes up and raise your legs as high as possible while trying to reach the toes with your arms;

breathe calmly, hold the body at an angle of 45 degrees, and stay in the position for 15 seconds;

Repeat the exercise 5 times with short breaks of about 15 seconds.
